Stepping Stone DS
A vibrant charity website combining warmth and professionalism
Challenge
Stepping Stones DS, a well-loved local charity, had an outdated website that no longer reflected its reputation or the vibrant experiences it offers children with Down syndrome.
The design lacked professionalism, key information was buried, and navigation felt unclear. The organisation needed a platform that looked polished and trustworthy, while still capturing the fun and excitement at the heart of the charity.
The Work
Design & UX
- Delivered a fresh design that balances professionalism with vibrancy.
- Improved accessibility and colour contrast to meet modern standards.
- Simplified the navigation and content structure for clarity.
- Refined existing brand elements and introduced new, engaging content blocks.
Build & Technology
- Followed best practices in web design and development to ensure longevity.
- Developed the site on WordPress 6.8.2 for stability and flexibility.
- Built a lightweight, bespoke theme to maximise speed and performance.
Solution
The new website gives Stepping Stones the digital presence it deserves. With a professional yet friendly look and feel, visitors can now find what they need quickly and easily. Key actions are highlighted with clear navigation, and a new dedicated section for family stories brings the charity’s impact to life. Thanks to the custom theme, the site is fast, responsive, and ready to scale as the organisation grows.
